David Haye: record, next fight and profile →

Promoter Ahmet Oner, CEO of Arena Box Promotions, has continued his attack on the Klitschko brothers and their manager Bernd Boente.

Dereck Chisora could be set for a heavy ban from boxing in the wake of his shocking brawl with David Haye in Munich on Saturday night. Some reports claim he will be banned for life, but the British Boxing Board of Control's record for dealing out punishment for pre- or post-fight misdemeanours suggests he may escape with a lesser sentence. The British Board has ordered Chisora to appear for a hearing on March 14th.

David Haye's trainer Adam Booth says the former world champion has no intention of meeting Dereck Chisora in the ring despite the pair's brawl in Munich.

Bernd Boente, the manager of WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (44-2, 40 KOs), does not expect a possible fight with David Haye (25-2, 23 KOs) to come off in the fall.

Some of the biggest names in British Boxing are shocked with last Saturday's brawl between David Haye and Dereck Chisora. The incident took place during the post-fight conference to Chisora's bout with WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. The two boxers exchanged words, punches, and their camps were involved in the violence.

Dereck Chisora and David Haye have whipped up plenty of media attention courtesy of their impromptu brawl at the press conference, following Chisora’s wide decision defeat to Vitali Klitschko in Munich on Saturday night. Haye reacted with a surprisingly accurate right hand when Chisora approached him to speak about a potential meeting between the two and was then attacked by members of Chisora’s team before swinging a tripod. The night was topped by Chisora’s threat to ‘shoot’ his rival. Unfortunately for them, and for boxing, the eyes of the world have focused on the sport for all the wrong reasons during the past two days, which have been full of blame, counter-blame and plenty of hand wringing, but who sew the seeds for Saturday’s disgraceful scenes?

By Jake Donovan - Passion – it’s the difference between a job and a career. Even with a major alphabet belt around his waist and preparing for his fourth straight HBO-televised appearance, Adrien Broner is still hard at work to solidify his status in the boxing world. It’s worked well to date for the 22-year old Cincinnati native, who defends his 130 lb belt for the first time when he faces unbeaten contender Eloy Perez this weekend. Their bout serves as the co-feature of Saturday night’s live HBO Boxing After Dark telecast from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. The means in which Broner goes about seeking his fame has struck a love ‘em-or-leave ‘em relationship with most in the industry. There are those who are huge fans of what he has to bring to the table; others not so much. For those who fall on the latter side, don’t hold your breath expecting the rising young star to change his ways. “I was born for this – the lights, the stage, the headlines,” Broner believes, though never to the point of self-entitlement. “It’s what I fought hard for when I was young and coming up through the ranks. I was always preparing for moments like this. (The pressure) never gets to me. I just love what I do.”

Dereck Chisora will be hauled in front of a British Boxing Board of Control hearing on March 14 in relation to his conduct "prior, during and after" Saturday's WBC heavyweight title defeat against Vitali Klitschko in Munich.

It is with regret that I feel I have to issue this statement to clarify certain matters, following an unfortunate incident that occurred on Saturday night (February 18) in Munich, Germany, at the Vitali Klitschko v Dereck Chisora post-fight press conference.

Following the extensive media coverage that my WBC World Heavyweight title challenge against Vitali Klitschko in Munich at the weekend has attracted, I feel I must wholeheartedly apologise for my part in the regretable scenes both before and after what was to be the biggest night of my career.
